Are you Stalking me?

Four

Onika Maraj-Petty
"Sweet heart"

This was almost the first day in this year I had a full day off. I answered a few emails but Carissa took away my laptop and business phone yesterday so that was the end of that.

I had told her to come keep me company and leave the office work to Dorothy until I get back.

I fixed Carissa and I a glass of wine, Ken's company had factored it. It was one of his expensive ones and it tasted like a sip of heaven.

Carissa car pulled in the driveway and she got right on out. Knowing the door was unlocked she walked right on in.

"Hey Mrs. Petty." She grinned and switched over to me.

I smiled, "Hello Ms Carissa."

"Ready to get that ring, seriously."

"Mrs Knowles?"

"The intern?" She sat her purse on the island.

"She's cute girl. She told me if she was a preacher she'll marry the both of us."

"Mm I don't know.. she seems a little creepy."

"I mean, maybe she isn't as social."

"She was staring on the first day."

"She likes what she see, get at that. The way she writes I can tell she's gonna be something big too."

"You think?"

I hummed, "Then she's determined, most of these interns ok with not getting paid. They think just because they're working hours with no pay automatically means they're gonna get a job here."

"Right. Y'know Maria? She stay slacking, and expect me to give her breaks. Saying it's against the law."

"It is."

"Oh."

I shook my head at Carissa, "You thirsty?" I handed her the glass of wine.

"You know it." She grabbed it and took a sip.

"You are so lucky to have a man like Kenneth."

"What?"

"I'm saying.. he's good looking, successful, faithful. It's hard to find a man with all three."

"Oh. Right. I thank God everyday almost."

"What's them packages beside the door?"

"Some packages came?"

"Yeah and a bundle of roses, look like. They're covered though."

I walked to my front door and opened it. Two medium size boxes and obviously some covered flowers sticking out of the bushes. I didn't even hear the door bell ring.

Carissa helped me with the boxes and I brought in the roses.

"Kenneth sent this?"
